there'll be no sleep for me
no sweet dreams
in this psychotropic reverie

figures moving through the dark
everywhere they make their mark
in the shadow of this revelry

wires hanging from the walls
no-one left to make the call
and save us from the mess we made

dust gathers on the floor
now we can be sure
there's nobody who could have been saved

save our souls
please save our souls

Track Name: Blood & Tears

you'll take our land, you'll take our homes
you'll fake our stories and cast them in stone
you'll take our fears and make us an enemy
when we've disappeared you'll wipe out our memory

and the only lasting point of view
is the wool before our eyes
that frames the lucky few
who know the reason why
the shutter's in the shade
but the film is on the screen
where nothing is explained
we don't know what it means

but you can't stop us from walking
from our houses and homes
you can't stop us from fighting
with our flesh and our bones
you can't stop us from feeling
all the love and the fear
we'll keep on walking
through the blood and the tears

Track Name: Mirrors & Lenses

we heading for the end of the evening
and my conscience tells me now i should be sleeping
but all thoughts of leaving now are fleeting
because i know inside there's a thousand hearts still beating

reflected it's blinding my senses
projected through mirrors and lenses
the motion is staggered by strobe light
as i seek some refuge from the cold and the dark night

i've finally found a place i can be truthful
no subtlety of meaning here is useful
the purest form of human interaction
playing on my own dissatisfaction

Track Name: Oil & Water

face in the crowd
too loud to be heard
afraid of the sound
and the power of the word
this street is for you
and it's true, we defy
blood is our fear
and the fear will divide

like birds of a feather
we'd stick together
they had no doubt
but you push us together
and like oil and water
we separate out

escape from a place
where grace is denied
adapt to the pace
and race to confide
sell to who'll buy
and try to get by
with weight in your name
and blame on your side

Track Name: Space To Breathe

i'm leaving town in the morning
heading for something new
much further north where the days are shorter
by the skies are blue

i was scared to go the distance
much more than i had in mind
but some respite from this madness
is what i seek to find

i can't escape that all my friends
will make new friends and i will too
but nothing can replace what we've done together
what we've been through

you're asking me the question, why I have to leave?
this city was once my saviour, now it's my enslaver
